In one embodiment, a display control method of an electronic apparatus including a display screen comprises the following step. In a first state where the first object and the second object are displayed on the display screen, when a second operation of separating positions of the first object and second object from each other is detected after a first operation of selecting a first object and a second object is detected, a display of the display screen is changed to a second state where the first object and the second object, which are more distant from each other than those in the first state, are displayed with a third object displayed therebetween.
An electronic apparatus according to one embodiment is described hereinafter.
Configuration
An electronic apparatus according to one embodiment is, for example, a personal computer, or a mobile terminal (a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a mobile game machine, or a wearable device (a device in a form of a watch, glasses, a belt, or a cloth, for example, having a display screen)).
The mobile phone is described as a one example of the electronic apparatus, however, the electronic apparatus according to the present disclosure is not limited to the mobile phone.
The present disclosure is described using the mobile phone which is one example of the electronic apparatus.
As described above, illustrated is the straight type mobile phone 100 as one example of the mobile phone, however, the present disclosure may be also applied to another type of mobile phone such as a folding mobile phone and a slider mobile phone.

The lamp 101, by emitting light outside, can inform a user of an incoming-call information that, for example, the mobile phone 100 is getting a call and have a missed call or a received-mail information that, for example, the mobile phone 100 has received a new email and have a unread email. The lamp 101 can also inform the user of an arrival of an alarm date and time, for example. A light-emitting element such as LED constitutes the lamp 101. The lamp 101 is an LED lamp, for example. The lamp 101 lights or blinks the light to inform the user of the information.
The display screen 102 can display various information. The various information include displays of, for example, an icon indicative of an application, a running application, incoming signal strength, a remaining battery level, a date, and a time. The display screen 102 includes a transparent cover panel, and a display 120 provided in a back side of the cover panel. The display 120 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, a plasma display, and an electronic paper. When the display 120 is made up of the liquid crystal display, a backlight of the display 120 emits the light to display the various information on the display screen 102. Meanwhile, when the display 120 is made up of the organic EL display, a light emitter of the display 120 emits the light to display the various information on the display screen 102.
One example of an operation part receiving an operation performed by the user includes a touch operation part 114. The touch operation part 114 includes a touch panel, for example. The touch panel includes various types of panels such as an electrostatic capacitance type, a resistance film type, an optical type, an ultrasonic surface acoustic wave type, an infrared light shielding type, an electromagnetic induction type, and an image recognition type. The operation part may also be a proximity operation part, which can be operated by detecting a proximity, instead of the touch operation part 114. The proximity operation part is operated by detecting a motion of a hand, for example, by a proximity sensor. The operation part may detect a motion of the user by a camera, for example, to receive the operation performed by the user.

In a step S01, it is detected whether the two thumbnails are touched. Specifically, as shown in
It is detected whether the touch to the two thumbnails is released, that is to say, whether the touch which has been detected is no longer detected (a step S04). When the tough to the two thumbnails is not released (the steps 04: NO), that is to say, when the touch to the two thumbnails is continued, a flow goes on to a step S08, which will be described below. When the touch to the two thumbnails is released (the step S04: YES), it is detected whether the selection operation is performed on the operation menu (a step S05). Specifically, it is detected whether the touch to any of the items (copy, paste, and cut) displayed in the operation menu 13 to select the item is detected as shown in
When the touch to the two thumbnails is not released in the step S04 (the step S04: NO), it is detected whether the operation of bringing the positions of the two thumbnails closer to each other is performed (the step S08). Specifically, as shown in
When the menu is not selected in the step S05 (the step S05: NO), it is detected whether a predetermined period of time has passed (the step S09). When the predetermined period of time has not passed (the step S09: NO), the flow returns to the step S05. When the predetermined period of time has passed (the step S09: YES), the display of the operation menu is deleted and then the display positions of the two thumbnails return to the initial positions (a step S10).
